On Corrosion

If anything, ‘On Corrosion’ is a monumental project – a cd anthology housed in a handmade cardsleeve sleeve and featuring tracks from Kleistwahr, Neutral, Pinkcourtesyphone, Alice Kemp, She Spread Sorrow, G*Park, Relay For Death, Francisco Meirino, Fossil Aerosol Mining Project, and Himukalt. This compilation also stands as the 50th release for the Helen Scarsdale Agency, an imprint founded in 2003 and dedicated to post-industrial research, recombinant noise, surrealist demolition, existential vacancy and then some
The overarching theme of this compilation refers to that of Jim Haynes, the agency’s founder and the curator for ‘On Corrosion.’ entropy. disintegration. collapse. decay. yet, from the beginning of the boxset’s production, the focus was directed elsewhere, with other artists invited to present their ideas, aesthetics, concepts, and strategies upon the theme at hand
